German lawyers for the family of Jamshid Sharmahd, who died in captivity in Iran October 28, said his body was finally returned to the family in April. An autopsy showed that his tongue, heart, larynx and thyroid had all been removed from his body and that the corpse had only two teeth remaining. Iran announced October 28 that he had been executed for running an anti-regime monarchist group. But eight days later, the government said he had died of a stroke before he could be hanged.
